Beamforming is a signal processing technique. In simple words, it can locate the Wi-Fi devices and then strengthen the signal in the specific direction from AP to client.

With Omni antenna, AP broadcasts Wi-Fi signal in all directions, which means no matter where your Wi-Fi devices are located, they all receive the signal with similar strength in same distance.

With Beamforming technology, the AP will locate the Wi-Fi devices and then strengthen the signal in that direction, extending Wi-Fi coverage, reducing unnecessary RF interference and creating a stronger, faster and more reliable wireless communication.

Currently TP-Link EAP225_V3, EAP320_V1&V2, EAP330_V1&V2 support Beamforming, and this feature is enabled by default.
